More than tea in a cup
"You know,these cups bring to mind a tea quote I heard." Mary's aunt said.
She poured tea.there were four of them and there were four totally different cups on the table.
They grabbed their tea cups.
"What quote?"Mary asked.
"Well,maybe I should rather say it is a story," aunt said,"I heard there was this wise teacher who took all his students for tea.They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different.They all took a cup and started drinking their tea,each looking at the cups of others.The teacher let them do that for a while and then said:"Do you notice your behavior?You are all looking at each other's tea cup and I can see some of you with the chipped ones are even envious of the finer cups of others.Is this not so?"
The student agreed,amused by their own behavior.
"You may have wondered why you all had different cups,but I put then here on purpose.You see - they represent life itself.Life is like that tea -and the cup are like the physical circumstances of your life.You all got the same thing in your cups - tea.And yet you cannot truly enjoy it in your envy of anther's cup.It's just the same with life.You forget to enjoy your own life when you concentrate on envying the circumstances of someone else"s life.
So now,close your eyes,and taste your own tea.Really taste it.Andtell me-did it matter from which cup it came from?"
Aunt finished telling hei short tea story and they all sat in silence for a while,savoring their tea.A sleepy fly buzzed past,a bird sang in the tree.And it really did not matter one bit from which tea cup they drank.
